Guest guest Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 So very sorry to hear this. YES, he should change docs-hospitals too. Letters need to be written by all the folks that are having these same problems. I never heard of them having such problems before. I am very sorry to hear that. Please know cards will be in mail tomorrow too!! Love & hugs, GrandmomBEV My Husband is Clubbing it By the way Brad's ( My husband who has CF) in the hospital....they finally admitted him.HE should have been admitted month ago but we'll not go there.He went from a lung function of 73% to 54% and lost 10 pounds...looks sooo tiny right now.Plus he was running a 101 fever.UNC Pulmonary STOPPED all direct admits.You either go to the ER or you wait until clinic day. He had an appt in CF clinic last week and we knew he needed to go in but the ice storm happened and so he had to wait another week to see the doc....GRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr UGHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...then he couldn't get a PICC LINE b/c they don't put PICC 's in on the weekends or after 3pm on Friday. It took them 12 hours to finally clean the room ! ! ! ! We waited for 2 hours b/c I told him NOT to go there when they told him too. I am so glad I have a new doc...I HATE that hospital ! ! ! So now he's getting Vancomycin and its literally eating up his veins....he had just a regular IV in right now until Monday when the IV team comes to put a PICC in. THis is not good b/c BRAD hates needles and is totally and completely allergic to any type of pain....=) Need I say...I love my port. His IV infiltrated and the ceftaz was leaking under his skin and it got super red and he got hives up and down that arm .....Things better change there b/c they are ticking off a bunch of people.It was good though to see the therapists and nurses who have taken care of me through the years. They knew after the last admission in Sept there I wouldn't be back. I kinda miss them....not the doctors though. The care I get at Wake in better. I am their youngest patient and their only Cf so they think Im the neatest thing since peanut butter and jelly was invented....They make me food so I'll eat and sit with me for hours and talk.Plus they sneak me in their offices to use the computer. Anyways....Bradley is in the hospital and I know he would love some cards....he gets jealose I have so many friends. His addy is : Bradley Snyder UNC HOSPITALS Patient Room 6302 Chapel Hill, NC 27599 Becki YOUR FAVORITE LilGooberGirl YOUNGLUNG EMAIL SUPPORT LIST www.topica.com/lists/younglung Pediatric Interstitial Lung Disease Society http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InterstitialLung_Kids/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 Sorry to hear that Brad is ill. I hope tat he is feeling much better very soon. I have never her of Vancomycin. I am assuming that it is a strong antibiotic??? You probably can't go to the hospital too much. This is the middle of flu and cold season and hospitals are full of bugs. Does Brad have other family close enough to visit him? I hope so. I'll send him a card today. Does he ever read cfparents?
